HealthPAC (Perception and Action in Health and
Disease) is an Innovative Doctoral Programme (IDP),
which was funded in 2013 by the EU FP7 Marie Curie

Investigators (PI’s) at the Donders Institute for Brain,
Cognition and Behaviour at the Radboud University
Nijmegen, The Netherlands.

Project Start: Jan 1, 2014 End: Dec 31, 2017
HealthPAC is now searching 14 Early-Stage Researchers (ESRs) who will work on exciting
